A lucky horse shoe find! Cognative Café! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly and helpful staff who truly go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and it’s clear that this place is run with heart and intention as a community favorite. The coffee options are incredible, espresso, cortado, lattes, or prefer a simple drip, they’ve got something for everyone. They proudly brew Cooperative Coffee, which makes it even better knowing your cup supports ethical sourcing. If coffee isn’t your thing, no worries—the fridge is fully stocked with a wide variety of non-coffee beverages, and their tea selection is just as impressive. Their food menu is impressive, hearty sandwiches to fresh baked goods, there’s a wide selection to choose from, and they even offer plenty of gluten-free options, which is a huge plus. You can tell the staff is creative, and they’ve put a lot of thought into their offerings. The space itself is clean, bright, and completely handicap accessible, which I truly appreciate. The restrooms are spotless, and there’s fast, reliable WiFi, making it the perfect spot to work or relax. Overall, Cognative Café is so much more than a coffee shop, it’s a welcoming, inclusive, and vibrant space with top-notch service and quality in every detail. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great cup of coffee, a bite to eat, or a cozy place to hang out. Whether you’re meeting a friend, working remotely, or just stopping by for a quick pick-me-up, this place is a five-star experience all the way!

The coffee is fantastic, but it's Jenny who's truly impressive. While mixing the most complicated coffee orders (non-whip, double pump, hand mixed) she can recite the many, many, different gluten free sweets while remembering that you asked for 2%. My sisters and I loved her! Glorious coffee smells as you enter the gorgeous shop. Plenty of comfortable seating, inside and out. Yummy-looking GF sweets and avocado toast. Can't wait to go back.

You have to try the avocado toast! And their selection of gluten free goodies is pretty good too.
